I have been inundated with emails and messages following my interviews with Gary Robertson & Kaye Adams on BBC Radio Scotland this morning. Parents, teachers and even a director of education urging me to keep going. Don’t worry, I will not give up. Come on 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 - we can do this!

List of people who's voices should be heard in planning for full time school return: - *CHILDREN* - parents - teachers - child health specialists - infectious disease specialists Let's make it happen, make it safe, and make it GOOD

Part-time schooling will make Scotland's attainment gap five times worse by December, says a leading educationalist as The Sunday Times Scotland launches a campaign for a better deal for children 5050inschool Sarah Chisnall thetimes.co.uk/article/scotti…

This was posted by one of our members at #UsforThemScotland This seems to correspond with the data coming out from around the world regarding the infection rates and transmitability from children. We now have over 7000 members facebook.com/groups/2057020…

We have read the words of Nicola Sturgeon . John Swinney. We EXPECT these words of full time NORMAL education, including physical exercise, to be reality by August 11th. No #blendedlearning #schoolsreopeninguk #UsForThemScotland facebook.com/groups/2057020… thenational.scot/news/18533580.…

Our group #UsForThemScotland has over 7100 members Since Friday 12th June ! Including Jack McConnell. #Parents #grandparents #teacher We want all the children of #Scotland #backtoschool, full-time, in August. No #blendedlearning No #SocialDistanacing facebook.com/groups/2057020…

Congratulations to all the parents and teachers who wanted a change in policy. Very pleased Scottish Government have done the right thing. All hands on deck now to deliver full time education by August. And then help all those who have fallen behind to catch up. Well done everybody. 👏👏

Why would you write an article on CCS (including quotes from some people who aren't experts in this context) without referencing recent CCC report, which concludes that CCS is "likely" needed in a reliable net zero power system. Such poor journalism theguardian.com/environment/20…
